Lori is supposed to land at 4:15 this afternoon. Hope she makes it as there’s going to be a little snow. I think the wind is supposed to be the larger issue. I’ll pack a bag just in case we get stuck in Denver. Nevertheless I’m headed down and will be there when she is scheduled to land.
Ty and Jack were out until 9 last night and then sometime I think around 11 pm Ty threw up. He said it was from nachos and other movie food. Hope so as we don’t need anyone getting sick here. I was driving both boys to Denver today but I think I’ll leave Ty here and just take Jack down. Jagger spent the night at Zach’s but will be home this morning.
Lori and Dixie made it to California but not without a little drama. A guy sitting behind Lori in First Class dropped his suitcase right on top of her head when they were boarding! Are you kidding me? A United supervisor came on board and documented the accident and will send us a report. Hopefully she’ll be ok and we won’t have to sue!
Looks like we’re getting a new Range Rover today. My accountant called yesterday and told me we’ll save about $25,000 on our taxes if we trade in the car by December 31st.. Owning a business gives me certain tax advantages and buying a new car yearly, if it weighs over 6000 pounds, is one of them. Not sure why it needs to weigh over 6000 pounds. Anyhow we get to write off the full purchase price from our taxes! This is unbelievable. You have to use the vehicle for business which I clearly do as we put 36,000 miles on the one we have right now in the past year. Think we’ll get white or silver this time around. It’s a big deal and something you have to take advantage of with the taxes you have to pay these days. He also told me we overpaid about $25,000 in estimated payments last year. That means this might be the first year in decades where we don’t owe money. We could even get a refund but I think any over payments just roll over as a credit. Taxes are really complicated these days.
Not much else going on. Can’t wait to get Lori home. It’s been nice to have her Mom visit. Lori and Dixie enjoyed their time at the Sonnenalp and the boys really enjoyed time with their grandma. Lori is a great daughter. She goes to see her Mom almost every month, calls her every day and stays on top of the long term healthcare plan. She is back to work Monday. It’s my birthday and she asked me what I wanted to do and even said she’d go to the Bronco game but I told her let’s just rest. Although it would be great to watch the Bronco’s beat the Raiders! That’s it, have a great day and last weekend of 2019, God Bless.
